 The poor definition of variation in the ascochyta blight fungus (Ascochyta rabiei) has historically hindered breeding for resistance to the chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) blight disease in West Asia and North Africa. We have employed 14 RAPD markers and an oligonucleotide probe complementary to the microsatellite sequence (GATA)4 to construct a genotype-specific DNA fragment profile from periodically sampled Syrian field isolates of this fungus. By using conventional pathogenicity tests and genome analysis with RAPD and microsatellite markers, we demonstrated that the DNA markers distinguish variability within and among the major pathotypes of A. rabiei and resolved each pathotypes into several genotypes. The genetic diversity estimate based on DNA marker analysis within pathotypes was highest for the least-aggressive pathotype (pathotype I), followed by the aggressive (pathotype II) and the most-aggressive pathotype (pathotype III). The pair-wise genetic distance estimated for all the isolates varied from 0.00 to 0.39, indicating a range from a clonal to a diverse relationship. On the basis of genome analysis, and information on the spatial and temporal distribution of the pathogen, a general picture of A. rabiei evolution in Syria is proposed.

Angular leaf spot disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola, is one of the most important disease of this crop in Brazil. Control strategies for the disease include cultural practices, chemical control and genetic resistance. This pathogen is known to vary greatly in pathogenicity. For durable use of genetic resistance to control this disease, it is necessary to manage resistant cultivars by taking into account the population structure of P. griseola. Isolates of the pathogen from Goias, Brazil exhibited an important virulence polymorphism when inoculated on 12 differential cultivars. A total of 13 pathotypes was identified within a series of 96 isolates collected in Inhumas and Damolandia counties. Only pathotypes 63‐15, 63‐23, 63‐31 and 63‐63 were identified in both counties. Since all the isolates were capable of inducing disease in both Andean and Mesoamerican differential cultivars, they were considered to be of Mesoamerican origin. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis performed on the same 96 isolates revealed a great genetic diversity clustering the series into five groups at an Euclidean distance of 62.5%. Although the results did not show any clustering according to the isolate origin, it was possible to observe a tendency of the isolates to cluster in different groups according to their origin. No pathotype‐specific band was observed in the present study.  相似文献

Summary Six pathotypes of Colletotrichum falcatum, responsible for Red-rot in sugarcane, prevalent in subtropical India were examined for genetic relationships using RAPD markers. A high degree of polymorphism (78.6%) was observed using 40 RAPD markers. More than 50% genetic divergence was found among the pathotypes and UPGMA cluster analysis of genetic similarity indices grouped the six pathotypes into two clusters. Cluster I comprised pathotypes Cf01 and Cf09, while cluster II comprised the remaining four pathotypes. Cf02 and Cf08 were the most closely related among all the pathotypes. Pathotype-specific unique bands generated in RAPD profiling are being used for developing markers for pathotype identification in diseased cane samples.  相似文献

Sorghum downy mildew, caused by the obligate oomycete Peronosclerospora sorghi, has been controlled through the use of resistant cultivars and seed treatment with metalaxyl. A recent outbreak in fields planted with treated seed revealed the presence of a metalaxyl-resistant variant. Here, PCR-based methods including amplification from RAPD primers and two systems of automated AFLP analysis have been used to detect DNA-level genetic variation among 14 isolates including metalaxyl-resistant and susceptible isolates, as well as representatives of common pathotypes 1 and 3 and a new pathotype. In total, 1708 bands were detected after amplification of EcoRI/MseI fragments with 16 primer combinations. Nearly as many amplified products were observed using eight primer pairs with three-base extensions (LI-COR) as with two-base extensions (ABI-Prism genetic capillary system). Approximately 25 % of the bands were polymorphic across the 14 isolates, with the majority of differences specific to the pathotype P1 isolate. The AFLP banding patterns are consistent with metalaxyl resistance and the new pathotype having evolved from pathotype 3.  相似文献

The causal agent of common bean anthracnose, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, has considerable genetic and pathogenic variability, which makes the development of resistant cultivars difficult. We examined variability within and between Brazilian pathotypes of C. lindemuthianum through the identification of vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) and by RAPD analysis. Two hundred and ninety-five nit mutants were obtained from 47 isolates of various pathotypes of the fungus collected from different regions, host cultivars and years. In complementation tests, 45 VCGs were identified. Eighteen RAPD primers were employed in the molecular analyses, producing 111 polymorphic bands. Estimates of genetic similarities, determined from the Sorence-Dice coefficient, ranged from 0.42 to 0.97; the dendrogram obtained by cluster analysis revealed 18 groups of isolates. RAPD and VCG markers presented high genotypic diversity. The number of significant associations (P=0.05) between RAPD, VCG and pathogenicity markers ranged from 0 (VCG) to 80% (pathogenicity). The test of multilocus association (rd) for RAPD markers was significantly different from zero (P<0.001), suggesting linkage disequilibrium. However, the results for VCG markers show the presence of recombination mechanisms. In conclusion, RAPD markers and VCGs were useful for detecting genetic variability among isolates of C. lindemuthianum. We found considerable diversity among isolates from the same geographic origin within a short interval; this suggests rapid evolution. There is a need for further studies to elucidate the population structure of this pathogen in agro-ecosystems.  相似文献

From 2001 to 2003, leaf rust was collected in different regions of Germany and the Russian Federation to generate single spore isolates and to study the structure of the pathogen populations by analyses of virulence. The virulence of isolates was tested with 38 near‐isogenic lines each carrying a different resistance gene. The analyses of variance revealed significant effects for the frequency of virulent isolates, the regions and most interactions with years and regions, but no significance was found for the effects of years. In Germany, an increase of virulence frequencies was detected for Lr1 and Lr2a while a decrease was found for Lr3a, Lr3bg and Lr3ka. Such clear trends did not occur in Russia which may be due to the great agroclimatic differences between regions. The variance of the frequency of virulent isolates was used to estimate adequate sample sizes for the analysis of regional populations of leaf rust. This procedure resulted in more reliable information about the dynamic processes within the pathogen populations. In 2002 and 2003, all pathotypes in Germany had a combined virulence to Lr1, Lr2a, Lr2b, Lr15, Lr17 and Lr20 supplemented by a few other genes. The complexity of virulence was lower in the most frequent pathotypes. In Russia virulence to the alleles at locus Lr3 was very common. Using detached leaf segments in Germany and Russia it turned out that the most virulent pathotypes carry 34 and 32 virulence genes, respectively. Virulence to Lr9, Lr19, Lr24 and Lr38 was rare or even absent. The use of major genes, not overcome by corresponding virulent pathotypes, may contribute to more durable types of resistance in case they are combined with genes having different effects, e.g. adult plant resistance.  相似文献

In 1995–2004 we investigated leaf rust virulence in Slovakia on Thatcher near isogenic lines (NILs) with genes Lr1, Lr2a, Lr2b, Lr2c, Lr3a, Lr9, Lr10, Lr11, Lr15, Lr17, Lr19, Lr21, Lr23, Lr24, Lr26 and Lr28. According to reaction of leaf rust isolates resistance genes Lr9 and Lr19 were completely effective to all examined pathotypes in all years. The resistance genes Lr24 and Lr28 were also completely effective to all examined pathotypes till the year 2001. In the year 2001 we detected 20% and 10% virulent isolates on NILs Lr24 and Lr28, respectively. According to the reaction of investigated isolates from the territory of Slovakia on NILs, resistance genes Lr2c, Lr3a, Lr11, Lr17, Lr21, Lr23 and Lr26 were mostly ineffective. During the 1994–2004 period we detected 16 races of leaf rust (races 2, 2SaBa, 6, 6SaBa, 12, 12SaBa, 14, 14SaBa, 57, 57SaBa, 61, 61SaBa, 62SaBa, 77, 77SaBa, 77/57SaBa). The most frequently determined races were 61SaBa and 77SaBa, which occurred in all years. Among frequently determined races we can assign race 12SaBa as well. According to the field tests in 2001–2004 good resistance to leaf rust was displayed by the cvs Arida (Lr13, Lru), Eva (Lr3, Lru) and Solara (Lru).  相似文献

Phytophthora blight induced by Phytophthora capsici causes significant yield loss in a number of vegetable crops. It is imperative to understand the diversity and aggressiveness of the pathogen to design more efficient disease management programs. A collection of P. capsici strains isolated from different vegetable crops in Georgia, USA, were characterised in this study. Of the 49 isolates tested, 24 were A1 and 25 were A2 mating type, respectively, with both mating types found in the same fields. Variability of the isolates was assessed in terms of their aggressiveness on six pepper genotypes. The isolates differed in their aggressiveness on different pepper cultivars with 10 pathotypes identified. No correlation between aggressiveness of the isolates and their host origin or geographical location of isolation was observed. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to evaluate genetic variability among P. capsici populations. RAPD analysis using 15 random primers resulted in 133 reproducible bands and cluster analysis separated the isolates into 5 groups. Analysis of molecular variance showed that there was moderate genetic differentiation associated with host origin and geographical location of the isolates. No correlation was found between RAPD groups and pathotypes or mating types. These results indicate that P. capsici populations infecting vegetable crops in Georgia were genetically diverse, which should be taken into account in developing resistant cultivars or other disease management programmes.  相似文献

Wheat leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) is becoming a serious concern in Spanish wheat, especially on durum wheat where acreage has enormously increased. Host resistance is the preferred method of disease control, but the virulence spectrum of the leaf rust population in Spain is currently unknown. In order to deploy effective Lr genes, this study was conducted to characterize the virulence spectrum of leaf rust in Andalusia (Spain). Isolates were obtained from surveys of wheat fields across Andalusia from 1998 to 2000. From 56 isolates phenotyped, 35 pathotypes were identified. Virulence to Lr10, Lr11, Lr14a, Lr14b and Lr18 was high (>96%), while virulence to Lr9 and Lr24 were not found. None of the isolates collected from durum wheat were virulent to Lr1, Lr3, Lr3ka, Lr3bg, Lr15, Lr16 and Lr17, while many of the isolates collected on bread wheat showed virulence on these genes, indicating a certain specialization in the leaf rust infecting durum wheat. Population dynamics of current wheat leaf rust pathotypes in terms of mutation and migration are discussed.  相似文献

The zygomycetous fungus Entomophaga grylli is a pathogen that shows host-specific variance to grasshopper subfamilies. Three pathotypes of the E. grylli species complex were differentiated by three molecular techniques. In the first method, the three pathotypes showed different fragment patterns generated by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD). There was little or no interisolate variability in RAPD fragment patterns within each pathotype. Passage of an isolate of pathotype 3, originally from an Australian grasshopper (Praxibulus sp.), through a North America grasshopper resulted in no differences in the resultant RAPD fragment patterns. In the second method, polymorphic RAPD fragments were used to probe the genomic DNA from the three pathotypes, and pathotype-specific fragments were found. In the third method, restriction fragments from genomic DNA of the three pathotypes were cloned and screened for pathotype specificity. A genomic probe specific for each pathotype was isolated. These probes did not hybridize to DNA from Entomophaga aulicae or from grasshoppers. To facilitate the use of RAPD analysis and other molecular tools to identify pathotypes, a method for extracting DNA from resting spores from infected grasshoppers was developed. The DNA from the fractured resting spores was of sufficient integrity to be blotted and probed with the pathotype-specific DNA probes, thus validating the use of these probes for pathotype identification in field-collected grasshoppers.  相似文献

We have analyzed the karyotype of the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea, by using pulsed-filed gel electrophoresis. We tested whether the electrophoretic karyotype of an isolate was related to its pathotype, as determined by infection assays, or its genetic lineage, as determined by DNA fingerprinting. Highly reproducible electrophoretic karyotypes were obtained for a collection of U.S. and Chinese isolates representing a diverse collection of pathotypes and genetic lineages. Chromosomes ranged in size from 3 to 10 Mb. Although chromosome number was largely invariant, chromosome length polymorphisms were frequent. Minichromosomes were also found, although their presence was not ubiquitous. They ranged in number from 1 to 3 and in size from 470 kb to 2.2 Mb. Karyotypes were sufficiently variable as to obscure the obvious relatedness of isolates on the basis of pathogenicity assays or genetic lineage analysis by DNA fingerprinting. We documented that the electrophoretic karyotype of an isolate can change after prolonged serial transfer in culture and that this change did not alter the isolate's pathotype. The mechanisms bringing about karyotype variability involve deletions, translocations, and more complex rearrangements. We conclude that karyotypic variability in the rice blast fungus is a reflection of the lack of sexuality in wild populations which leads to the maintenance of neutral genomic rearrangements in clones of the fungus.  相似文献

Red rot, caused by Colletotrichum falcatum Went, is one of the most important diseases of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.). The pathogen shows a great diversity in virulence as a number of pathotypes are known to occur in nature. In the present study, the toxin producing ability and genetic variability among isolates of C. falcatum collected from major sugarcane growing areas of Tamil Nadu, India were analysed. The C. falcatum isolates differed significantly in their ability to produce toxin in vitro. The toxin from C. falcatum isolate Cf 671a induced the maximum electrolyte leakage (300 μS) from sugarcane leaf tissues. The genetic relatedness of the isolates of C. falcatum differing in toxin production potential was investigated by using RAPD analysis. Analysis of the genetic coefficient matrix derived from the scores of RAPD profiles showed that minimum and maximum percent similarities among the tested C. falcatum isolates were in the range of 19 to 95% respectively. The phylogenetic analysis by the UPGMA identified two main clusters. Cluster A contains only one isolate (Cf 98061) and all the other isolates were placed in Cluster B confirming high genetic diversity among the isolates. No correlation was observed between clustering of the C. falcatum isolates in the dendrogram and their toxin producing abilities.  相似文献

The genetic and physiological variability of Verticillium fungicola var. aleophilum responsible for Agaricus bisporus dry bubble disease in North America is well documented but little is known about the var. fungicola affecting European crops. Variability was assessed within this variety and compared with that reported for the var. aleophilum. Eighteen isolates of V. fungicola var. fungicola and four var. aleophilum isolates were analysed for DNA polymorphism, mycelial growth, response to biochemicals produced by A. bisporus, fungicide resistance, and pathogenicity assessed by direct inoculation on sporophore or casing contamination. RAPD and AFLP markers delineated three French isolates from a homogeneous group containing the other var. fungicola isolates, but no correlation could be drawn between DNA polymorphism and the various traits studied. The var. fungicola isolates were more susceptible than the var. aleophilum isolates to the antibiosis effect of A. bisporus. Only mycelial growth rate at 23 °C could explain the variability in aggressiveness among the European isolates. The putative effect of the post-incubation temperature on contamination during mushroom cultivation was discussed. This work emphasized that, like the American var. aleophilum, the var. fungicola in Europe is genetically homogeneous, but physiological diversity exists, especially in France where it could be related to less standardized cultural practices.  相似文献

A new source of resistance to the pathotype 4 isolate of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) CDN 1 has been identified in Brassica napus (oilseed rape). Analysis of segregation of resistance to TuMV isolate CDN 1 in a backcross generation following a cross between a resistant and a susceptible B. napus line showed that the resistance was dominant and monogenic. Molecular markers linked to this dominant resistance were identified using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and microsatellite bulk segregant analysis. Bulks consisted of individuals from a BC1 population with the resistant or the susceptible phenotype following challenge with CDN 1. One AFLP and six microsatellite markers were associated with the resistance locus, named TuRB03, and these mapped to the same region on chromosome N6 as a previously mapped TuMV resistance gene TuRB01. Further testing of TuRB03 with other TuMV isolates showed that it was not effective against all pathotype 4 isolates. It was effective against some, but not all pathotype 3 isolates tested. It provided further resolution of TuMV pathotypes by sub-dividing pathotypes 3 and 4. TuRB03 also provides a new source of resistance for combining with other resistances in our attempts to generate durable resistance to this virus.  相似文献

Hosts and pathogens have adapted their response to each other through genetic changes that have arisen during the course of their co‐evolution. In developed countries the longevity of varieties is often short; new varieties frequently possess novel genes with specific resistance to pathogens. The latter must adapt to the resistance genes to maintain pathogenicity. To study this adaptation, 50 Central European and 50 Australian isolates of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh) were tested on 50 barley differential varieties with different specific resistance genes. All the Central European isolates differed from each other in their virulence combinations and belonged to 50 various pathotypes, whereas Australian isolates comprised 37 pathotypes. None of the pathotypes detected in Central Europe was identical or similar to any of those in Australia. This can be attributed to the much higher number of virulences in Central European isolates that developed over a long period of contact with a range of host varieties containing specific resistance genes. This has led to a gradual divergence of the Australian and the European Bgh populations. In Europe, unlike Australia, new specific resistance genes are still widely used in breeding barley varieties and the divergence of both populations will continue.  相似文献

Thirty two pathogenic isolates of Fusarium udum from different pigeonpea growing areas in India were studied for pathogenic and molecular variability. Pathogenic variability was tested on 12 pigeonpea differential genotypes, which revealed prevalence of five variants in F. udum. The amount of genetic variation was evaluated by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification with 20 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and nine microsatellite markers. All amplifications revealed scorable polymorphisms among the isolates, and a total of 137 polymorphic fragments were scored for the RAPD markers and 16 alleles for the simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. RAPD primers showed 86% polymorphism. Genetic similarity was calculated using Jaccard's similarity coefficient and cluster analysis was used to generate a dendrogram showing relationships between them. Isolates could be grouped into three subpopulations based on molecular analysis. Results indicated that there is high genetic variability among a subpopulation of F. udum as identified by RAPD and SSR markers and pathogenicity on differential genotypes.  相似文献

The leaf rust resistance gene Lr25, transferred from Secale cereale L. into wheat and located on chromosome 4B, imparts resistance to all pathotypes of leaf rust in South-East Asia. In an F2-derived F3 population, created by crossing TcLr25 that carries the gene Lr25 for leaf rust resistance with leaf rust-susceptible parent Agra Local, three microsatellite markers located on the long arm of chromosome 4B were found to be linked to the Lr25 locus. The donor parent TcLr25 is a near-isogenic line derived from the variety Thatcher. The most virulent pathotype of leaf rust in the South-East Asian region, designated 77–5 (121R63-1), was used for challenging the population under artificially controlled conditions. The marker Xgwm251 behaved as a co-dominant marker placed 3.8 cM away from the Lr25 locus on 4BL. Two null allele markers, Xgwm538 and Xgwm6, in the same linkage group were located at a distance of 3.8 cM and 16.2 cM from the Lr25 locus, respectively. The genetic sequence of Xgwm251, Lr25, Xgwm538, and Xgwm6 covered a total length of 20 cM on 4BL. The markers were validated for their specificity to Lr25 resistance in a set of 43 wheat genetic stocks representing 43 other Lr genes.  相似文献

Twenty isolates of Tilletia indica collected from sites in North and North‐western India showed pathogenic variation on 18 host differentials. Sixteen aggressive pathotypes were identified on the basis of percent coefficient of infection (PCI). Two major clusters were apparent in the dendrogram; cluster 1 comprised 13 isolates and cluster two consisted of seven isolates. One of the isolate Kashipur had a high PCI on most of the host differentials compared to other isolates. Polymerase chain reaction‐based random amplified polymorphic DNA (PCR – RAPD) analysis also divided isolates into two major clusters, one comprising of 5 isolates collected from hill and foot‐hill sites and another group comprising of 15 isolates collected from plain sites. Thus, the clusters identified based on PCI did not match closely with those identified by molecular analysis based on RAPD. Although diversity among the isolates of T. indica was absent in the rDNA‐ITS region, our study based on pathogenicity and molecular markers confirms the existence of great diversity in the pathogen, also shifting of ‘hot spot’ areas from one place to another within Karnal bunt prevailing areas.  相似文献

Canadian isolates of Leptosphaeria maculans, the causal agent of blackleg of crucifers, were examined for genetic relatedness by the random amplified polymorphic DNA assay. DNA polymorphisms amplified with random decamer primers were used to distinguish three groups of isolates. Group 1 contained all isolates of the virulent pathotype, group 2 contained isolates of the avirulent pathotype from western Canada, and group 3 contained avirulent pathotype isolates from Ontario. These results agreed with other reports which showed many genetic differences between pathotypes and were consistent with the hypothesis that the virulent pathotype was recently introduced into Canada and has diverged relatively little. In contrast, the avirulent pathotype has probably been present in Canada for a longer time and has diverged with geographic isolation. In addition to establishing genetic relationships, DNA fingerprints generated by the random amplified polymorphic DNA assay have potential applications in pathotype identification and blackleg disease management.  相似文献
